Of Jan. G, Comrade Doyle asks two or three
conundrums i think i can answer one OF
them He asks what battery Gen.. Hallcck
spoke Of as holding the Gap in Rosecranss
army Sept 90, 1863, at Chickamauga. j am
not on oath, so i may say il was the one in
which j twas +" high private" viz: Battery !, I'd
III. l.. A., Capt. Chas. Nj. Barnett, commanding
belonging TO the Second Brigade, Second Divis-
ion, Reserve Corps There may have been more
gaps and more batteries shat day, but can
say truthfully that we tried orr best TO I'LL the
gap. and we had lots Of room, but were ably
supported by our old brigade, under Col. Dan.
McCook, who staid by us IN their usual manner.
We had been away TO the left and were brought
in TO Gen. Thomas's assistance on the double
quick. We got there about o'clock, as nearly
as j can remember, but before We got TO where
we could work we ran into patch of timber
which was on fire, aud a number of wounded
men were lying there. There WAS something
elsa rebel batteIy-that made things red hot
for us, and as we did not wish 10 force our COM
pany upon them we left.
About 10 minutes after we got out Of the fire
we were hammcriag away at two rebel bat
teries one Of six and the other Of four guns,
and we silenced them and released Gen. Tur-
chin's Brigade, which had been hemmed in by
the enemy.-A. b. HODGE, Battery ], ID III. Art,

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: writer In
the Chicago Times of recent date is inclined 10
speak disparaginPly of our opponents in the late
'unpleasantness." Hcsays they didn't have good
clothes, and That we were fighting lot Of boys
at Fort Donelson; that they were a scary set
An fact, a hard crowd generally. Now, il is
well known that the first soldiers Of the Con-
federacy, with very few exceptions, were men
over le years OF age There were very few
boys among the prisoners taken at Fort Donel-
pon. My regiment, the ID Iowa, had the honor
Of marching in, on the morning Of the surren-
der, at the head Of the army. Both sides Of the
road were lined with Confederate soldiers, cook
ing their breakfast. We had good chance 10
sec them in their original camps, and know
they were more comfortably situated than were
tke Union troops during the siege
After marching into the main fort and taking
mp our quarters in the log cabins, mingled
freely with the prisoners and must say that
did not see any who were badly scared, /" or
who were naked in fact i never saw a iollier
lot of prisoners during the war than those can
tured Al Donelson. They were as warmly
clothed as our men, and they all had blankets
except now and then one who had lost his dur
ing the battle.
The morning after the surrender was one
OF 40 guards detailed 20 60 down 20 Mound City

lsoO0 prisoners aboard Of our boat, with Gen.
Buckner and his STAFF. About 10 o'clock a. m.

Cumberland with the prisoners and about 200
wounded. We had fair weather while going
down, but the morning we got 10 Mound City

Valley in 1864 for the Sixth Corps. / have no
objection 10 this gentleman "whooping il up"

Sixth did all the fighting, for they did not. As
20 the killed and wounded, the Nineteenth had
some, for j saw few. My regiment lost half
of its officers in single engagement In the
battles of Winchester, Fishers Hill and Cedar

or died of wounds in eight New York infantry
regiments, while the Nineteenth Corps lost

wILLICH'S BUGLES.
A Good Reason Why the General Did Not Use His
Lungs.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your issue OF
Jan. 6 ! find an article headed Tho Bugle
Was TO Blame" written by 5. w. Bird, AdJu-
tant, 35th H., Ashland Wis. Asa member OF
the 32d Ind, Gen. willich's old regiment
think I can show this Adiutant several OF his
errors. In the first place, he says: "MIlllehs
Brigade, better known later on as the Horn
Brigade, etc. We were known by that title
70 the rebels after the battle of Stone River,
where our Brigade consisted Of the 32d ana 59sh
Ind, 18th and f9th Ohio and c9.h III, whlle
our regiment, the BED Ind, had earned the title
OF Horn Regiment already on the 18th de-
cca.bcr. 1861, at Gowlutt Station, on Green
River. Ky, in the fight we had with Terry 5
Texas Rangers and Eindman's Brigade, whom
we whipped against overwhelming numbers by
the aid OF these same bugle calls OF course
the Ad;ntant could not know the whole mas
tory OF the regiment, as his regiment Joihed
our Brigade only upon the consolidation OF TIE
Twentieth and Tweuty-frst Corps into The
Fourth Corps after the battle Of Chiekamauga.
Again he says: 81 think Gen. Nlllichs
lungs would have been equal TO any emergency
that arose, and IL they had not been, he might
have called on Col. Gibson, Of the 49th ONO.
Now should like 10 ask this Adju;aht where
he was that be does not know that Gen. Wal.
Itch was desperately wounded on the 10Th OF
May az the battle Of Resaca by rebel sharp
shooter, being shot through the right arm aud
both lungs, and that the command OF the Brl-
gade devolved on Col. Gibson, Of the 49th Ohio
who also had the command Of the brigade at
New Hope Church, May p, lSJi2 Surely Gen.
Which must have commanded the brigade IN
the Adjutaut's dream, for at the same time he
was struggling between life and death.
Again, wish 10 ask the Adjutant where he
was that he heard the firing in his rear, Tor i
know only too well that when firing COM
menccd il was in our immediate front; SO ne
must have faced 10 the rear. The blame at tho
/ time was laid 10 our Division Commander,
Gen. Wood who gave orders 10 attack against
the strict orders Of Maj.-Gen. Howard not TO
! bring on fight in our reconn0i 7sance toward
the right and flank Of the rebels Ny regl-
ment lost 100 killed and wounded, myself
among the latter with a shot in the head.
! Moods Division, which bore the brunt OF the
/ fight lost LOIS in killed and wounded.
Our Brigade did not have the advance that
day, but Hazen's Brigade led, with Beatty's
Brigade following him, and then ours. 80 there
was but little occasion for bugle calls in the
brigade. Hazcn's Brigade was the first to run
on the rebel masked works in the evening"
